Extreme cold sensitivity and intolerance

Do you know what can be done about this problem? Some remedy, some herb?
I feel ridiculous. People around me wear short sleeves and I need two jumpers! During the night I cover myself with 3 blankets. I feel cold in my back, I put on wool band in order to protect my back from cold.. but the problem is it is not cold, in normal terms it is normal and I feel supercold on the back. And then, the biggest issue: when I feel cold and it lasts for few minutes, pain starts and it is very very intense. And it lasts for a looong period of time. I see this is far away from normal.
I think my centre for thermoregulation in brain is affected. Could that be?
Or just damaged nerves in back?

For me Temperature dysregulation is one of my dysautonmia symptoms - I believe because the bacteria have invaded my CNS. I have other pots symptoms - pulse goes up when I stand up from sitting...and a few more that I can't think of right now.

Blueberry, I am sorry that you are so miserable.

PeteZa, I am like that too. I can be hot as blazes (with cold skin) or freezing. But with me it can all be within an hour. I have my little lap blanket that I keep by me all the time. Its on and then off!

I think that this can all be thyroid issues too. Blueberry you may be Hypothyroid. Lyme affects so many systems in our body. If you haven't checked it recently you may want to do that.

You might want to try some "warming herbs" like ginger. I drank some Yogi Detox Peach Tea yesterday and it warmed me up to the point I was hot! It might be worth a try.

I agree with Krimpet. This was one of my main symptoms until I started taking the Cat's Claw too. I started most of the Buener Herbs at that point also...

For me - it's infection related. My TSH, FT3 and FT4 levels are all good - and I've been tested a few times since symptoms started.

Coldness and cold sensitivity is one of the most common signs of hypothyroidism.
The under activity could be caused by the Lyme infection, or it could be seperate in itself.

I have had my thyroid tests come back off-normal, a few times, but usually they show normal. I've had cold sensitivity that comes and goes. Sometimes I need two blankets and a jacket other times I'm taking off as much as I possibly can...lol

Babesia and Lyme I believe are the main culprits with this symptom

You are correct that it can be thyroid as well, but let me tell you my story. I was hyperthyroid--became hypo due to RAI. When I say became hypo there was nothing there. I went extreme. Little by little, I took teensy-weensy dosages of T4. Never felt cold, never felt tired. 2 years later, bam!!! High titers of EBV, co-infections, etc. oh my goodness, that's when things went south, north, east, and west. What happened my immune system was shot. In fact, no one picked up on it going by the wayside when I was hyperthyroid. In fact, they now say, it was never my thyroid at all. It was these infections and if I would have had cleared them...well I would quite possibly have my thyroid today.

Pirouette I am from Europe, English is not my mother tongue, and I learned both British and American English, depending on the teacher, so I think I use them both :)

Krimpet... so sorry to hear your story.

I checked thyroid and it is fine. I think maybe it is related to low blood pressure and bad circulation, and also other hormones. But I am sure Lyme is the cause.

It is just so difficult to live with this extreme cold intolerance. The biggest problem is that when I feel cold on my back, after few minutes it starts to hurt badly. And that pain lasts for a long time (whole day, sometimes more days if I felt cold for a longer period of time)...That is the problem. Is it possible that it is caused by muscle spasm? Or something like that?
Is this scenario possible:Because I think my nerves in back are damaged, as they are extremely sensitive, so they make muscles to contract and I got so much pain?
I don't know what to do. I feel desperate.

I will definitely try cat's claw, I haven't used it, and I read that Dr Buhner recommend it in its core protocol, I suppose it can only help.
